Since leagueoflegends mods took down my post for seemingly no reason at all (they hate it when people talk about the game) and by popular demand, I decided to bring back the list I made because it helped people with theorycrafting which I really appreciate. Have fun! By the way, there's things you should watch out for when building Runaans, I marked them with text that looks like this.

Marksman champions:

• Aphelios
  • Applies on Calibrum Bonus AA Range
  • Range extends on Calibrum Q hits
  • Slows and roots up to 3 targets with gravitum
  • unclear if it multiples Severum self-heal
  • does NOT replicate crescendum ;-;
• Ashe
  • Applies Frost Shot
  • Modifies when Q is active
• Akshan
  • Secondary Auto Attacks also fire bolts
  • bolts apply and proc 3-hit passive
• Caitlyn
  • Applies to all range modifiers like W and E
  • No longer stacks headshots faster
• Draven
  • No interaction (*condescending laughter*)
• Ezreal
  • Q causes bolts to fire on impact
• Jhin
  • Bolts mark targets for W pasive
  • Bolts do NOT ramp damage towards 4th shot
• Jinx
  • Bolts modify to apply Q AoE damage
• Kai'sa
  • Bolts apply and detonate passive stacks
  • Bolts mark champions for your ultimate
  • Bolts reduce cooldown on E
• Kayle
  • Item Passive is disabled until level 6
• Kalista
  • Bolts stack spears on all targets
• Kindred
  • Bolts can proc E
• Kog'Maw
  • Bolts apply Max hp damage
• Lucian
  • Lightslinger fires additional bolts wiht a weirdly long delay extremely inconvenient
• Miss Fortune
  • Q triggers Runaans, but the bolts only fire at the targes in the direction you're facing when Q hits its first target. (great for omnidirectional plays)
  • Runaans does NOT apply Love-Tap
• Quinn
  • Bolts will proc Harrier marks
• Renata
  • no interaction (how sad)
• Samira
  • Melee auto attacks still fire bolts
  • Bolts trigger passive even if you attack non-champions
• Senna
  • Bolts apply passive on-hit bonus damage
  • Wach bolt resets Q cooldown
  • Bolts fire on Q use
  • Bolts can proc and collect passive stacks on champions
  • Picking up a Stack from the ground fires bolts on nearby enemies
• Sivir
  • No Interaction.
  • Bolts don't trigger Sivir Passive. (WHAT? Why?!)
• Teemo
  • Bolts apply E Poison
• Tristana
  • Runaans extends with passive range
  • Runaans fires bolts when you use E
  • Bolts do not apply passive explosion (this one makes no sense either)
• Twitch
  • Bolts apply twitch passive
  • Chances of Q reset are increased
  • Bolts do not pierce when R is active
• Varus
  • Bolts apply Blight stacks to each target
• Vayne
  • No interaction
• Xayah
  • Each Bolt also fires a Secondary Shot when W is active (looks cool as hell)
  • Bolts will NOT shoot piercing feathers
• Zeri
  • Bolts fire on Q impact
  • Targets standing behind primary target can be hit with empowered Q AND Bolts.

Non-Marksman Champions

• Azir
  • Soldier's attacks do not trigger Runans
• Bard
  • Bolts do not trigger additional meeps
  • Bolts do not interact with your passive in any way
• Ivern
  • Bolts apply W passive for as long as you're standing in a bush.
• Neeko
  • Hitting 3 bolts will instantly stack and proc W passive.
  • Your empowered auto attacks are instant, meaning that you can reliably hit them
• Twisted Fate
  • Bolts will instantly stack 3 stacks of E
  • When using W, Rnaans will fire bolts in the direction TF was facing before selecting an attack target. (another one for omni direcitonal plays.)
  • Bolts do not apply W or E effects
• Seraphine
  • Seraphine can't extend Runaan's attack range with her passive because her bonus range disappears before Runaans is called on in the code. She's the only champ in the game with that bug. #stopseraphinehate
• Vex
  • Buying Runaans on Vex completely breaks the game and de-synchs your passive with what you can see on the screen, making it completely random when champions are feared or marked.
  • Runaans bolts still collect Vex Passive marks to instantly skip the passive cooldown if the game doesn't break when you do it. Now what the fuck is going on here?

Items

• Navori Quickblades
  • Bolts trigger CDR (Good on ADCs that spam abilities or who have long cooldowns on basic abilities.)
• Rapid Fire Cannon
  • Bolts extend with empowered attacks
• Statikk Shiv
  • Bolts CAN trigger chain lightning, but only the first bolt that hits something.
• Black Cleaver
  • bolts reduce armor on every target. (Ashe support, anyone?)
• Serpent's Fang:
  • Bolts reduce shields on every target (need I say more?)
• Death's Dance
  • Chances of Healing on-takedown are increased.
• Titanic Hydra & Ravenous Hydra
  • Bolts trigger both Cleave AoE Cleave AoE effect is invisible when buying Runaans and Ravenous Hydra
• Trinity Force
  • Bolts stack Trinity Force faster
• Night Harvester:
  • Bolts proc Night Harvester on every target
• Heartsteel
  • Bolts proc Heartsteel on every target

Anti-Synergies (do not buy)

  • Despite being on-hit, Bolts do NOT apply Spellblade
• Dead Man's Plate
  • Runaans will completely cancel the effect of DMP Small indie company moment
• Echoes of Helia
  • Runaans will NOT grant extra Soul Shards despite what it clearly states in the item description...

Runes

• Presence of Mind
• Electrocute
• Dark Harvest
• Phase Rush
• Summon Aery
• Grasp of the Undying
• Shield bash
  • Bolts CAN apply shield bash, but only on the first target that was hit, making it less reliable
    • This rune actually gets worse when you buy runaans, lmao

Hi all!
I recently saved a pit bull off the side of the highway. I took her to the Emergency Vet closest to me to get her checked out and she appears to have been used for breeding and then was abandoned.
I’m currently looking for a new home or a foster but my question is this. Her mammary glands are enlarged, sagging and even seem to still produce a bit of milk. The ER Vet said she didn’t appear to have mastitis.
They don’t seem to cause her pain or anything like that. I have a vet appointment for her on Thursday. But is there anything I should look out for or be worried?
I currently have her in a separate room of the house from my other pets for the time being. Gave her a bath, bought her a bed and some special food that the vet recommended. I just wanna make sure I’m covering all her bases!
I have a picture but the sub won’t let me share it!
Any advice would be great!

Hey lovely people, I'm Jonathan! I'm a university graduate currently just living life as a graphic designer, freelancing but branching out and discovering what I'm really about. Let's plan a movie night, or maybe just stay up talking about life and what we've got going on! I'm an open book with lots of passion for the things and people in my life.
About Me:
• A bit of an ambivert. I like asking big questions and getting into deep talks.
• I listen to lots of music. Let's share Spotify playlists!
• I know how to skate! And I've been boxing for three years, so I'll totally fight you.
• I've been to over ten countries!
• My favorite tv show is Psych. You know that's right!
• I'm a sucker for murder mysteries and time travel stories. Appropriately, my favorite book is "11/22/63" by Stephen King. Let's start a book club or watch things together!
• I design and ship out boxes full of gifts to my closest friends once a year on a random days to show them I'm thinking of them. I call it Whatever Day!
There's a lot more to me, so hit me up if you're interested! All I really need from you is a desire to talk! I'm happy to send a picture or link my social media.

I have about 40 silver rare untradable fodder from the Bronze premium upgrade SBC. And I have completed all the silver squad in Icon SBCs. Is there any other good place to dump them? The Silver premium upgrade SBC seems a little wasteful to dump the rates. Thanks!

I am a proud Democrat, and I have been outspoken about my political beliefs. In recent weeks, I have been the target of a campaign of harassment and threats from ULTRA MAGA supporters.
These individuals have flooded my DM requests with messages of hate and violence. They have called me names, threatened to harm me and my family, and even made death threats.
I am not alone in this experience. Many other Democrats have been targeted by ULTRA MAGA supporters. This is a clear attempt to silence and intimidate those who disagree with their views.
I will not back down. I will continue to speak out against hate and extremism. I will not let these threats silence me.
I am calling on all Democrats to stand up against this hate. We must not let ULTRA MAGA supporters intimidate us. We must continue to fight for our values, and we must never give up hope.
Where are my allies at?
I know that I am not alone in this fight. There are many people who share my values and who are willing to stand up against hate.
I am calling on all of my allies to join me in this fight. We must stand together against ULTRA MAGA supporters. We must show them that we will not be intimidated. We must show them that we will not back down.
Together, we can make a difference. We can create a more just and equitable world. We can build a better future for all of us.
How can you help?
There are many ways that you can help fight against ULTRA MAGA supporters. Here are a few ideas:
Speak out against hate and extremism. Let your friends, family, and neighbors know that you will not tolerate this kind of behavior.
Support organizations that are working to fight hate and extremism. There are many organizations that are working to make a difference. You can donate your time, money, or skills to help them.
Get involved in your community. Get to know your neighbors and work together to make your community a better place.
Vote. Make sure that you are registered to vote and that you vote in every election. Your vote is the most powerful tool that you have to make a difference.
We can all make a difference. Together, we can create a more just and equitable world.

Hi All, do you have any thoughts or recommendations on how to find experienced practitioners willing to work with a TCM brand?
We seek experienced industry professionals who would guide our elevated TCM brand and its product line. Happy to share more information about our story, positioning, and ways we could work together.
We really appreciate any help you can provide.

For those Muslims that are not native nor have ancestral ties to the land they live in, such as Europe and North America.
What makes them to believe they have right to move to these countries, take advantage of their welfare system, and spread Islam in hopes of the countries they moved to will become an islamic country. Or hope the caliphate will rise and occupy the countries they moved to.
But at the same time, they criticize harshly about Zionism/Israel for allowing Jews from all over the world to move there and displacing Palestinians.
If they believe that Jews have no right in the land of Palestine or Israel don't deserve its existence. What makes them believe they have the right of wanting to establish a caliphate that will occupy European lands and north America

You’re a communist. You miss the Soviet Union. You think the project can rise again, if done properly. How do you do it? Let me tell you, the answer isn’t to do something cartoonish, like start a war.
The best way to do this, my friends, is to destroy capitalism historically. You do that by attacking the enemies the communism. Who was credited for defeating the USSR? Well, none other than Ronald Reagan and Maggie Thatcher. Ever wonder why those two were SO popular back in the day? Ronald Reagan won by landslides. There’s now debate over Reagan’s importance in taking the the USSR (which he certainly did do, without firing a SINGLE FUCKING SHOT). Back in the 80’s? No question. He was almost unanimously considered one of the greatest people of the 20 century, among Thatcher, Churchill, MLK, Ali, and so fourth.
He was a crowd pleaser. His policies were widely popular. Communism is a far more left wing ideology than anything, so does it strike y’all as odd that it is predominantly left wingers who want to destroy the man? People hate him, and look for any way to tarnish him, ranging from revisionism, to false interpretations, to downright fucking lying. Same goes for the Iron Lady.
THIS is how you win a war that you already lost. History is written by the winners. History is where we came from. It’s the root to the tree. Poison the root, what happens to the tree?
Ahhh, you want proof that character assassination is going on? Well, how about we look at our friend Reagan. The man who refused to support a racist hotel (long before he was in politics), is now portrayed as nothing but a raging racist, who started the drug war. https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/local/1986/01/16/closest-friend-was-reagan-teammate/7058e682-7bab-4f70-9a72-c0d84f895622/
It’s not just Reagan, my friends. It’s our FOUNDERS. It’s George Washington himself. They want to destroy our heroes so that America falls. Ever wonder why your average non-history enthusiast talks about how much of a piece of shit Hitler was (absolutely justified), but doesn’t realize that Stalin (ONE OF THE MOST INFLUENTIAL COMMIES) had killed over 600k people before the fucking war started? He starved out his own goddamn people, yet many motherfuckers never cared to notice/remember. I would say it blows my mind, but in the end, nobody’s mind was more blown than Hitler’s.
I made an entire fucking post to say this. Pay attention to your surroundings and the agendas from the woke left. God fucking speed.

A day late but we're here, my little cheeto eaters! Remember as always to grab your bingo cards and let's get our little long weekend slumber party going. This whole fucking thing is FORTY MINUTES LONG, you're all lucky that my sibling who was supposed to spend the day chilling at my place has apparently forgotten that plan.
​

• There's a new opening style than all her other vlogs. Not sure if that's because of Morgan but also I don't care enough to go hunt down exactly which influencer she cribbed this style from. It features a lot of horse butts. Also her using her phone in bed, which I thought she didn't do because she's mindful.
  • The music she uses is this song, which is DEFINITELY not copyright-free, so have fun learning how actual copyright law works, Paige! The lyrics playing over the are "there are times when/it feels right to/run away, run away/when you ask the same old questions/every day, every day/Why do I set the stage?/Why do I find my place on the pedestal?", because I guess Paige went to the Love is Blind school of "make sure the lyrics of whatever song you use are really, REALLY literal"
• Giveaway winners! Congrats to the three people who won a pile of Paige's old garbage! Don't worry though, if you didn't win her trash, she'll be doing a lot more of these because she "appreciates [us] guys so much" and "wants us to experience some of the things that I'm so grateful to get".
  • Nothing says grateful like giving away your extras to strangers and instead of doing anything to promote them like you were supposed to in return for getting them for free, using the existence of this stuff as a way to leverage yourself up on the algorithm.
    • There's also Dairy Boy in the giveaways, of course, because no one's buying it organically.
• She explains moving Louie, it's the same stuff she said on Instagram. Weirdly horses are like the only animal I've never gotten super obsessed with, so I have no idea how BS this is, but it's almost word-for-word her IG explanation, so it's the same level of BS that was. She does word this though as it being a "charity project" and "passion project" she "donated to", because there was a dearth I guess of places to keep your horse in the rich people part of Connecticut.
  • She has to first run to get a grazing muzzle so Louie doesn't overeat in the pasture. This sets off my internal bad animal treatment alarms in a huge way, but again, don't know enough about horses to know if this is warranted.
• Just kidding! Don't let Paige into a Tractor Supply unsupervised, she's too much of a ~country girl~ to not come out with "so much shit". She also got this beef jerky that looked "so good". It's Iowa Smokehouse beef jerky.
  • It apparently looked good because all she had for breakfast was coffee. Why she only had coffee I'm not sure, since it's not like she didn't have the time to get something better. Coffee and beef jerky for breakfast sure is a choice, and one I'm sure her intestines didn't make her pay for later. This summer is all about ~hot girl indigestion~.
  • Story time! This looks like "legit, real beef jerky", which Paige knows because when Paige was in boarding school she stayed with a family who had a lot of cows and they made their own beef jerky, which Paige was of course intimately involved in, I'm sure. Anyway this makes her have such high standards, which is why she loves when somewhere like Tractor Supply (an enormous fucking chain, Paige) or a "local country mart" sells jerky because it's always better.
    • Fun fact that took me less than thirty seconds to Google, this "real" beef jerky is also available on Amazon
• More of the same definitely not copyrighted song as she packs up Louie's stuff and moves him. There's a lot of woman laughing alone with salad shots as she packs up and pretends to talk to... someone and "carry stuff" (ie: stand around touching her own body awkwardly)
• Some weird things about this whole sequence - 1) the "farm" she moves Louie to appears to have very poor, dilapidated fencing, red flag for me. 2) Paige is wearing a white shirt and then a white cardigan the entire time while DEALING WITH A HORSE and it never gets stained or dirty, which tells me she did fuck all, 3) the only guy with her is this big bald much older man who I assume is the guy starting this venture, meaning he's almost certainly who films her cantering around on Louie without her wearing a helmet laughing, which is so unbearably awkward. Like imagine asking a random older dude to film you doing that in a pure white sweater, 4) when Paige brushes Louie he sheds SO MUCH. Is that bad? It feels bad. When a dog sheds that much, even in the spring, it usually means no one's been brushing it regularly, 5) Louie has such a dip in his back and it makes me wince every time, especially when Paige shows him next to another horse. I don't know what that's from, but I hate it and it doesn't look comfortable for him.
• Nance and Baloo are at home when Paige gets back so she's just going to "throw on a little outfit" and they're going to go out for Mother's Day in Brooklyn. Paige really, really didn't want to go into the city because I guess she's suuuuch a country girl (nice, Paige) but she's doing it for her mom and to see her sister
  • Oh my god she DOESN'T CHANGE HER SHIRT FROM THE BARN, she wears a white henley, what look like blue pajama pants, and a leather coat.
  • Nance steals some of Paige's clothes (how I don't know since they're totally different sizes) and according to Paige is"slaying the boots", a phrase I will pay actual cash money to never hear Paige say again
• Next morning, return of the out of focus camera, though it may have been by accident this time because it stays out of focus. Anyway serious business Paige with her serious business glasses is starting the day with some "desk work". Is that a thing? A phrase? What the fuck is "desk work"? Has anyone who actually does work at a desk ever called it that?
  • When she's in Europe it's definitely harder for her to sit and do computer work even though she has a laptop but starting the day on her desktop at the same time as her "whole team" (WHO) it really makes a difference for them being all on the same page.
    • Okay so my actual job in real life is doing shipping and order management for a small creative goods company. I know very intimately what goes into product development, order fulfillment, etc, and Paige is just straight up saying nonsense. Like I paused and gave serious thought to what possibly she could be talking about, and I don't know what all this "work" is. If she was making everything in-house that's one thing, but that's not work she could possibly be doing or overseeing from Europe. But if she's outsourcing stuff, having it sent to a warehouse, and, then paying someone to ship it out for her, I guess she's doing... development? But that makes no sense because again, she outsources everything. She isn't doing wholesale, there isn't a lot to arrange for pop-ups if everything is outsourced and pre-made and she's only supposedly having one this summer, she only has eight products so the website maintenance is pretty easy, as is accounting, and she only really sells stuff around a drop which she does maybe twice a year.......... like genuinely I'm baffled here. It's my job to do this exact same thing every day with products that aren't jeans or sweatshirts or whatever and I'm so, confused about what her "work" is.
    • Allegedly they're on the "final push" for so many big projects and you know what, if any of these projects involve Paige actually doing anything besides feeling three different samples of denim swatches or deciding which vendor she's going to outsource oven mitts to and saying "I like this" or "I don't like that", I will issue her an apology. I feel safe in the idea that I won't have to issue her an apology, but I will keep on on offer in the off-chance I'm wrong.
    • She just finished making a line sheet (genuine lol once I looked up what that was) and apparently we are going to freeeeak out when we see her new merch - sorry, elevated lifstyle products.
    • It's denim. She's been working on denim. She shows us the final washes but it's in direct sunlight so it's all blown out and out of focus so they look mostly white? But she got the "perfect color". IDK, it's a light wash. I prefer dark wash, actually. It's a lot more flattering and forgiving. But we've already determined my aesthetic and Paige's aesthetic are not the same aesthetic. She's nobly pushed back production six months because she refused to do a full run unless the wash was absolutely perfect. It was so expensive but she needed to love love love the denim, because it's really what she's passionate about and what she wants to do, she wants to be the best denim brand out there. You know, because she's hand-making this denim herself, not just sending instructions to low-wage Chinese workers while being afforded the privilege to fuss over the perceived quality for six months because she has parents who are willing to flush money down the toilet on this. Also, for the record, but denim is like... a choice? Like what is the vision, exactly, because every clothing retailer has some version of denim and people are already super married to their faves, so how exactly is this business model working for her, here. And it doesn't look like stretch denim either, which means it's going to fit a very, very narrow group of body types. Like speaking from ample experience crying in GAP dressing rooms over my "freakish" (read, not built like a popsicle stick) as a teenager in a time before jeggings, jeans are not forgiving and easily worn by everyone. The thing about what Paige is doing so far is that it's universal enough. You don't have to really tailor an oversized sweatshirt or trucker hat to fit you. Everyone can make room for another overpriced candle. But denim??? IDK girl, you do you.
• Paige makes Olivia a latte. Olivia comes in and say it's story time about coffee. Paige asks if she should turn off the camera for this and Olivia says no so Paige continues to film herself preening while Olivia tells her a story about how messy she is frothing milk. Paige spends the entire time interrupting her to go "no! No! No! No!"
  • They look at buttons and rivets and embossed leather patches for the back, and then sweatpants leg panel samples. Baloo hangs out with them and Paige tells him he's stinky. She eats toast.
    • WHAT IS THE POINT OF ANY OF THIS. She's not DESIGNING anything, she's just doing that thing like, you know when you're choosing your racer in Mario Kart and there are a couple hundred variations of wheels and chassis and you just choose the unique combos you want to put together? She's doing that but with generic clothing. I've been jokingly referring to her stuff as "elevated Zazzle" but this isn't even Zazzle because Zazzle you UPLOAD ACTUAL ARTWORK TO. Why is she re-inventing the wheel? What improvements does she think she's making TO A PROVERBIAL WHEEL.
• Not sponsored showing off gifting time! It's not in focus at all so we can't really see any of the products (professional!). One of the products she mentions is that she's friends with CYNTHIA ROWLEY'S DAUGHTER who has nepo baby'd her way into dropping oven mitts and aprons that look like Strawberry Shortcake's rejects. Like they're cute, but they're again little strawberries on white. Like tell me none of you silver spoon-ass bitches cook without telling me by making WHITE OVEN MITTS. Those will turn yellowish and burnt after, what a single batch of brownies? Taking a piece of toast out?
  • This haul includes her tennis Tommy bag. Not sure how she got it since she brags about it being "sold out everywhere even Poshmark and depop"
  • There is sooooooo much of this free bullshit. How does she even get this much free bullshit. Why do companies waste so much money sending this to people like Paige who don't fucking care and openly give it away. What is the point of an influencer. IDK at this point I'm spiraling, this vlog is like a third of the way through and nothing has happened.
• Paige unpacks with Nance. She has so many clothes and I don't think she's worn any of them. Full disclosure that this was the point I actually got annoyed and had to take a break and play some video games for fifteen minutes because while growing up comfortably or on the upper end of middle class in a generational wealth type of town has taught me a lot of patience for people with too much money, there is at some point a limit to how conspicuous over-consumption and waste I can handle, and that point for me came when I saw how many sweaters Paige has that look like they've never been worn. And the on top of this she has a giant suitcase of stuff she's going to depop! The environment? Never heard of her.
• Paige is going to get groceries. She's needed Nance's help to do all the hard stuff she's had to do today like going grocery shopping and having soooo many clothes. She goes to Trader Joe's, then goes to a horse shop and of course buys MORE SHIT SHE DOESN'T NEED. I'm not condoning what the French did when they invented the guillotine, like that was really violent and horrible, but the point is that the longer I watch this vlog the more I'm understanding their motivations.
• Paige goes on a sunset ride with her friend Lauren, this song plays in the background as a flagrant copyright violation, I realize at this point that there's no way this video is going to stay up without Youtube copyright striking it so I have to be extra detailed for posterity and we still have so much to go and this is going to take forever. Louie's back still looks horrible and as someone with inherited lordosis, I feel for him.
• Tommy facetime! He says exactly one sentence and catches a tiny fish, for those of you keeping track on your Bingo cards.
• Nance is still over Paige's house when Paige gets back because she never leaves. Paige is wearing old Dairy Boy sweats. At this point when I scrolled down to press the play button again I realized that Nance has posted a comment about how proud she is of Paige within seconds of the video being uploaded. I live with my mother and sometimes I still need her help on stuff like yelling at health insurance until they cover stuff for me and even I am confused by how codependent their relationship is. Like doesn't Nance have her own house? A husband? Other children? Paige has spent this entire vlog needing Nance's help to do everything from grocery shopping to folding laundry and acting like a teenager. It's a rich text for a therapist to one day unpack.
  • It's Taco Monday, this is just a dumb and boring version of Paige performing the white people taco night song. Also bewildering, Paige seemingly DOES NOT KNOW HOW TO MAKE TACO STUFF. It involves almost no cooking! She even bought the spices pre-packaged! She needs Nance's help on this too!
  • Undisclosed new cooking knife brand product placement. They are amazed that it............slices.
    • OH NO SHE SAYS SLAYING WITH BOOTS AGAIN ABOUT THE KNIFE END THIS MISERY
  • Ahahhahah the reason they're so impressed is because they've apparently been cooking with unsharpened knives. Like Paige didn't know you could sharpen knives. A master chef, ladies and gentlemen!
• Oh god we're only halfway through. Paige wakes up the next morning. She got so freckly yesterday (read: she's courting melanoma and is going to age like a raisin). She's going to go play tennis at a club in Greenwich her parents are members at (Note, she shows the logo which means you can spend five seconds googling to discover it's this club. Membership is invite only and it's gauche apparently to discuss how much membership costs, but the estimate is EIGHTY GRAND A YEAR. To be clear, that is nearly THREE TIMES the average American household income. Paige is the child of people who spend more in one year to play tennis a few times a week than most people do getting fucking doctorates, which clears up a few things for me: one, I've never gotten those texts where she casually demands Morgan Wallen pay her back tens of thousands of dollars like it's $50, but I guess to her it is like $50, and two, why everything about Paige and how she acts towards people and money in this video is a million times more effective at radicalizing people on economic policy than anything Bernie Sanders has ever lain awake at night dreaming of.
  • Camera going in and out of focus during this explanation.
  • Ah she's doing it with her mom. Again. Heaven forbid Paige breathe without Nance.
  • Oh also she has to shoot an ad in the tennis dress, but she definitely likes and would go to play tennis anyway.
• More unboxing undisclosed adver- I mean PR.
  • I'm so serious, tthe flagrant wealth being thrown around in this video and the amount of free stuff a trust fund baby with absolutely no merits or skills whatsoever is getting because she has 300K followers on Instagram that she probably bought half of is like the best argument for socialism I have ever seen.
• .Paige gets dressed in the third outfit of the day to go to the dentist. The pants are pointedly too big on her so they don't stay up in the waist and create this weird enormous kangaroo pouch around her crotch. She pairs that with a toddler sized medium t-shirt for a football team she's probably never heard of, a choker that looks like something a boy band member in the early 2000's would wear but out of fake pearls, and cowboy boots. It's... the look sure is looking, let's just say that.
• Paige opines on how much she prefers to do vlogs at home, but don't worry, she won't stop doing travel vlogs for us! (Oh thank goodness, where would we be without the insights we get from them.) She feels like they add variety to her channel (what, no, we LOVE coming with you to the barn to watch you ride without a helmet over unsourced music! five times a vlog!). Sometimes she feels like there's this pressure to show us as much as she can, which explains why all we see in her travel vlogs is hotel room bathrooms, tennis matches, and the tops of various tabletops in restaurants. Anyway she feels like there's pressure because in reality she's there for Tommy. Which we KNOW, that's the entire PROBLEM, Paige. If you were HONEST about the fact that being a WAG on tour sucks and you don't get to actually see the places you're pretending to really go and immerse yourself in, we WOULD HAVE FEWER COMPLAINTS AND YOU'D FEEL LESS ANXIETY, the problem is that you have to keep compulsively lying about how cultured you are and how you really ~got a feel~ for the location. Just stop lying!!! Stop!!! Lying!!! Challenge!!!!! The anxiety you feel and the reason you have to monitor this subreddit comes from your CONSTANT LYING.
  • Ugh she would NEVER have gone to ROME if it weren't for Tommy. I think this is a ploy for authenticity but boy is it coming across as privileged.
    • I do think in her own Paige way though this entire monologue she has is about something I've noticed her talking around a lot - I think she's afraid if she stops travelling and being a WAG no one will care about her. I think she's terrified of doing what makes her happy, which is being home, hanging out with her mom, riding her horses, and spending her parents' money. But if she just let herself do the things she actually liked and stopped trying to always pretend to be cooler and more interesting than she is, no one would keep paying attention to her, because it's not like she has a sparkling personality or wit or unique point of view. Like I'm an interesting person to talk to, but if I tried to make a vlog of my life it would be pretty boring. I work a 9-5 M-F job and the most interesting part of my life is when I go to a concert or craft fair on the weekend or one of my neighbors goes out of town and I watch their cat. It's not riveting, but I also don't need to be doing fascinating things in order to be or feel like an interesting person. But people like Paige who need to always be travelling and going to events and flaunting how busy they are are often really sad and empty people. They're not doing any of the little mundane things that make people happy and spending time connecting with the people around them, they're just always moving around because they're afraid if they stop for five seconds, people will see that the only thing they have going for them is all that movement and travelling. I think Paige is constantly torn between the anxiety that comes with constant travel and isolation and putting herself on display and removing herself from the things that bring her a sense of calm and security, and the anxiety that if she allows herself to feel calm and secure, she'll lose the attention she craves. IDK seems like a thing she shouldn't keep indirectly admitting to in vlogs, seems to kind of undercut half of her material, but what do I know.
  • Also she really is going to positively contribute to Tommy and his life and career, ie: she needs to go home and feels comforted by home because that's where her mom and Amanda wait on her hand and foot and everything is about her, which she misses when she's with Tommy because when she's on tour with Tommy she has to accept that he's the center of attention and she's not.
  • Her home vlogs have been performing the best, like, significantly. Since she probably buys views and comments, this just means she likes them better and therefore buys more engagement for them.
  • Apparently her analytics are telling her that 30% of her views are coming from the "explore" feature, which she says is YouTube rewarding her for being consistent, and, uh. No. Not how that works.
    • I mean yes if you buy engagement it will put you in the algorithm more, but this is the time in the video where she accidentally self-owns. If you're an actual channel getting actual views from people who actually enjoy watching you, then VERY LITTLE of your viewership should be coming from the "explore" feature, MOST of it should be coming from subscribers or regular viewers or people who watch similar content. That's how the majority of people watch YouTube or find new videos to watch. But if fully a third of your viewers are coming from what's essentially a randomizer button, that pretty much confirms Paige is buying views and/or that a lot of viewers leave after a minute or two. Because if her content was good on its own, people would see it and subscribe, and then she wouldn't need to rely on the "explore" feature. But if she, as she says, is consistently getting a third of her viewership from that feature, than that means that a third of people are just randomly watching whatever YouTube puts in front of them and not engaging with her at all, meaning the ONLY POSSIBLE explanation is that she's essentially buying enough engagement to keep appearing on the explore page, but buying the opportunity to be put in front of people isn't actually getting her a larger audience because what she's serving them is a warmed-over turd.
  • Anyway Paige is counting on you not knowing the extreme basics and trusting that she "knows someone who used to work at YouTube who told her that's how the algorithm works"
    • Um if you don't know about social media - no one who works at YouTube or any social media company knows how their algorithm works unless they're the ones writing it, and if they do know, they're not going to tell you because that's extremely valuable, proprietary information and also there's like a lot of papers and NDAs and non-competes they'd be breaking if they did. They're telling you to upload consistently because it's good FOR THE MEDIA COMPANY. The company is trading in being a content hub, so they need people to consistently be uploading content, ie: raising the value of their site in a way they don't have to pay for. That's the entire business model of every. Single. Digital media platform. Heck, that's how most dating apps work too. The product is data. They want you to be giving them free product.
  • "I don't know, like I don't like doing things just for social media anymore?" HAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAH
    • And a week later you spent a weekend attending influencer parties in the Hamptons for....... what exactly. The scintillating conversation?????
    • She's very quick to say that's not the case if she has to shoot an ad! Loves shooting ads! Please keep sending her free stuff!
    • God this is taking me multiple hours but at this point I've sunk too much time in and also am convinced this won't stay up for copyright issues, so I'm taking a break to like, stretch and clean the bathroom, anything to get me moving and listening to my own thoughts which are in complete sentences.
• I'm back after cleaning the bathroom. I've been at this so long that my sibling has shown up. But I only have ten minutes to go and I REFUSE TO GIVE UP. This whole completely unhinged and unintentionally revealing rant has approximately a trillion uses of the word "like" is from 21:00 to 26:00 and if you want to watch it you can. I probably should have transcribed it for a full AP Lit level analysis, but I'm tired. If we're lucky, when Paige tries to re-upload this with copyright-free music, she'll have kept that in there.
• Paige ordered a shed! She's so excited!
• The fence looks mildly less jacked up when they go back. Paige is brushing Louie constantly in this video. Fourth time I think we've seen her do this. I feel like there's a lot more to horse care than brushing them and she only shows us this part because it looks aesthetic and she doesn't do any of the actual hard or necessary parts like shoveling horse shit, but what do I know.
  • This sequence uses unsourced but definitely copyright song number three!
  • Fun fact: Paige is the same fake brown color as Louie's dappled neck. Aw, you know how pets eventually look like their owners? Cute.
  • Shout out to Paige's friend (perhaps Amanda? Olivia? Can't keep the preppy brunettes straight anymore) who actually wears a helmet riding.
• Next day, we open with a bit of this song (not sourced, copyright infringement number four, possibly more that at this point I no longer notice tbh). Paige puts on boots to go to the new shed and realizes the vlog is going to be so long because she's never done a whole week at a time before. Because I've made it this far, I'm the best. (Aw.)
  • Paige calls Tommy to wish him happy birthday and films it, which seems... odd. Especially since she doesn't film it in a way where he can see she's filming.
  • Paige gets tea for breakfast (nutritious) and a coffee for the guy at the barn we must have seen earlier. His name is Aaron. I could do some google sleuthing and find him probably, but I don't care. Paige met him going on trail rides at her old barn. Do middle aged men usually hang out at barns doing trail rides? Just scoping out young idiots with disposable income? The whole thing seems sus. Apparently he has like seven kids.
  • Paige never realized how expensive pre-made sheds were, but it's a local business that makes it by hand! I assume the local business is called Costco And Sons.
  • More uncredited The Shins plays as Paige only loads the shed with blankets and nothing heavy or unpicturesque.
  • Another Tractor Supply run, at this point they're who really should be sponsoring Paige
  • Paige goes to say goodbye to Louie and he HIDES FROM HER IN THE WOODS
    • Girl.
    • Oh my god no wonder he's mad at her, they've been staying somewhere WITHOUT A STRUCTURE. He's been sleeping OUTSIDE. It got into the 40's every night in New England last week!!!
• Out of focus Paige talking about how she had suuuuuch a long day "running errands". Olivia didn't get to join Paige on her little horse girl excursions because she had to be at the warehouse and onboarding a new DB employee. Anyway Paloma is in town now
  • Paige learns that apparently you're supposed to be washing veggies as she prepares things to grill. PAIGE HAS BEEN COOKING THIS WHOLE TIME NOT WASHING VEGGIES. I.......... I am going to need to be sedated after this.
• Paige exfoliates and puts on a definitely not sponsored face mask
  • She's wearing skiing pajamas. In case we forgot she was a skier. Did you know she was a skier????
    • PSYCH, these are from previous ads with PJ Place but actually she really likes these and this one ISN'T an ad she just loves the product so much
• Paige is doing her makeup! We're at the end stretch! I'm almost there!
  • She took a day off of vlogging to go see her grandparents, but immediately segues into her Ulta trip. Because of her stupid grandparents, she didn't get to go to the barn, frankly how can she survive in these conditions.
  • Dairy Boy phone case plug! She was soooo specific about what she likes in phone cases and definitely didn't just choose between Zazzle, Redbubble, or (insert other brand here)
    • It's a shitty thin cover that looks like it protects your phone from approximately nothing and should cost $10 but I estimate she'll sell it for at least $40
    • Of course because Paige was so super particular about the details and business-minded when it comes to quality it took a long time to make........phone cases.......
  • Tommy calls and says hi
  • Paige rambles about her day and makes coffee. Tommy sent her peonies because he's "so cute". We see the phone cases and they're weird and ugly. More "gifting" (undisclosed advertising) that came in the mail
• Paige makes pickled red onions, every time she does it she changes the recipe a little bit even though she totally has a recipe and isn't googling. She starts pickling carrots which she says are going to "go bad soon" (that takes like six months, how do carrots even go bad?) She also does it in a water glass which, good luck ever drinking from that again without it tasting like vinegar.
• And then with no warning, it cuts off. That took me three and a half hours. It's been a journey and I hate it. If there is ever a vlog this long, I'm doing it in segments across multiple days because I'm exhausted by this much wealth and inanity. Time to go touch grass, start dinner, wash my vegetables before I do so. You know. The little things.

There is a YouTube video i used to watch all the time as a little kid, I remember being able to watch it until a few years ago when I couldn’t find it, the YouTube video is called something like “stop motion action figure war” or at least that’s what I would look up to watch it, anyway the video was about these action figures fighting each other in a war, I remember it so vividly I remember all the voices the characters had I remember how the gi joes teamed up with the transformers to fight the other toys and I even remember the ending and beginning, in the beginning it shows the gi joes killing a random anime toy, and the ending is a guy walking into the room and asking his mom if anyone’s been in his room, I would love to watch this again.

Just sitting in my room and was thinking about the past, you know like rerunning things in my head wondering what I could’ve done differently. This is probably something I should talk about with my GF but she still wants me to do things I’m not ready for (opening up wise) and sometimes she says things that trigger me on a bone deep level.
Anyway, I feel bad for my little brother and I know my older brothers want me to forgive our mother but I just HATE her. My little brother was born more athletic than me, I’m jealous of that but he’s still my younger brother. He’s arrogant, childish, and emotional or at least he was. I should probably talk to him more. Anyway I was watching a news video (that one about all those Texas high school students failing to graduate) and it got me thinking back to when he was in high school and how often he failed his classes.
Part of the reason I hate her is because she never really tried to get him to succeed. It was unconditional love, something me and my brothers never really got, but also neglect. He’d stay at his friends’ houses dang near every night of the week and go into depressive episodes. He tried to kill himself once that I know of, at a friends house, and I was called about it but I was at work so I didn’t answer. I was told he tried to down pills but ended up being fine so I didn’t react. No panic, no worry, no relief, just nothing.
As for my mother she was the same as normal, she still didn’t push him for better grades or check in with the school more. I went to one of his teachers only once myself, so I suppose I’m not much better, but I think that’s better than nothing. He kept failing, kept not coming home, and I guess I stopped caring. Looking back I suppose I did look like a bully to him, I was harsh and always talking down to him about failing instead of helping him like I should have. I should’ve tried asking him what homework he had and what else he needed. But he was taller than me, acted old enough to be a year younger, and always had stuff to do so I saw him as a rival. I blame myself for not being better, well at least when I’m actually thinking about it.
Going back again, my brothers have gotten on my back for not talking with my mother. They’ve apparently been throwing her in and out of mental hospitals, and my older brother (the one in jail) is usually the one to tell me. They say they know why I don’t like her but somehow I’m the only one to actually hold a grudge. I think it’s because they need her. My little brother is using her car, my older brothers ask her to babysit, give them money, and off and on a place to sleep. I think I just don’t NEED her so I don’t want her, thinking about her makes me angry. I know my father was abusive to her but I was too young to remember that, so all I know of her is that she was physically and emotionally abusive to me, never letting me forget I was HIS son, bullying me for being fat, and treating me like gold only when she wanted to look good.
All I remember of my father is the fact that he’s always been civil with me. I don’t love him, certainly don’t respect him, but I can’t say I distain him or have bad memories of him. He’s just someone who exists that I know is bad.
In terms of my girlfriend, I love her but it’s not intense. It never is or was, not for any big length of time. I think it’s because my other relationships were terrible, just highs and lows:

• The “first” made me feel wanted then I found out she was cheating, she had claimed it was assault 2 weeks prior but I never truly trusted her (but I wanted to be happy so I lived in denial).
• The “second” was here for me. She lived in my house, slept in my bed, made me think of my future and how to be better. She was “polyamorous” though so I knew I could never truly have her but I had hope, then she started accusing me of helping the apartment management team evict her (it was a long running accusation but I always waved her off) and told me she felt assaulted by me while we were in bed at night which just doubled down on the pain. I begged her to come back and try to fix things but she jerked my chain for months (saying stay away and then texting me with questions, like why didn’t you be better to your brother, only to hate me again, rinse and repeat.). Last I heard from her was months ago when she told me “One Piece is awesome” (words I haven’t been able to delete). She knows I love the show, that I look at it with the limited childlike wonder I have left, and she never watched it. So those words, sometimes make me want to go back and spend my nights in bed with her again. Anyway my current girlfriend is just someone I love. It’s like knowledge, like a fact to me, so I don’t need to feel intensity. I trust her, I love her, I respect her and sometimes what she says bothers me but I don’t have any urge to just up and leave. I think she thinks our relationship is only about sex to me, but now that I’m writing this out I think she senses on some intrinsic level that my passion simply flairs during sex. I want her to know that I care and can feel her and trust her but I don’t feel comfortable pushing back, I’m scared that I’ll blurt out a wrong word or aggressive tone or harsh combination of sentences instead of just calmly communicating my feelings. And that fear makes me feel insecure, and I’ve convinced myself women want me when I’m secure and loose as opposed to panicking and thinking. I feel like I’m most loved when I don’t talk, I think I’m a comforting invisible presence (sort of safety) but an annoying flurry back to reality. My girlfriend looked at me last night, when her grandma called, with something like disbelief. Her grandmother was concerned about us walking alone at night and I said “I’ll protect her”, because we were on speaker, and she gave me that look. It made me angry that she doesn’t believe I can protect her from harm. I want to say sometimes “If you don’t think I can protect you then go and find someone who can.” but I know that’s just me overreacting to a perceived slight. It’s just that she’s shown this belief multiple times now and I want to say something, I just wish I knew how to talk calmly and describe what I’m feeling.

I also want to be stronger. I want to fight harder, and be able to show her I’m capable enough for her. I wish I could make her believe in me but I think the only way to convince her is to actually fight. It makes me feel sort of depressed, like as if I’m being baited into violence by pride but I see no other solution because I don’t think I can keep her if she sees me as weak. I love her to death but it infuriates me that I can’t be better, and I’m afraid she’ll ditch me the second a whim comes.
Anyway that’s how I’m feeling. Stupid, angry, regretful, confused, like as if there’s more to do but I’m stuck in one spot unable to move. Like all my feelings drain when I’m alone enough for the apathy to set in. I wonder if I’m supposed to feel different.

So I'm planning to run Mutant Future soon (tentatively it's happening this weekend), and, after my last time running it, I've wanted to adjust a few things about character creation, mostly replacing the gear-buying minigame with some randomized equipment, letting PCs start with some artifacts, and adding in a freeform skill system.
To that end, here's the character creation handout I've prepped, some additional tables I made, the tables in Google Sheets form in case that's helpful at all, and a random gear table generated with Wizardawn, which I might end up getting rid of or paring back, since it was made before I put together the rest of the tables.
So I thought maybe other people might find this interesting. Go ahead and do with it what you will.

So basically two of my closest friends are married. I’m 20, and they’re both 30, it doesn’t affect our friendship at all however I am so far from anywhere close to being married so I don’t really know the unwritten rules. We have a mutual “friend”, none of us like her but we run in the same circles frequently so we play nice. Anyway, she is very clearly trying to “steal” away one of my friends from their partner. She constantly asks me to hint at him, talks about how attractive she is, and won’t stop talking about how she definitely has a chance with him. I know she doesn’t and he would never be with her even if he was single. I just don’t know if I should be telling them about this, or just continue to shut her down without them finding out. I guess what I’m asking is as married folks, would you rather know and deal with the conflicts that will come of it, or remain blissfully unaware?

Im at 12k watch hours and 400 subs. I worry that once I get to 1000 subs and apply to partner I’ll be rejected due to my content. I mostly talk about tv shows and movies. Either reviewing or analyzing them. I believe I fall under fair use as they are heavily edited but don’t show my face at all. Has anyone had experience with this or know of others who do?

Hey, I am kinda new here, I am a GM for a couple of groups and playing DnD 5e - I really do like, as probably most GMs, putting ambient background music for all kind of situations, from the crazy villain to the heroic rescue to the depth of dark betrayal picking the right music is probably my most beloved part of preparing for sessions. For the very most part instrumental music in all its forms is enough for the most situations - but lately I cant stop thinking about trying to use pieces that have vocals. On one hand I feel like there is huge untapped potential I didn't access yet, on the other hand, well, singing people will clash when people talk with each other.
I have tried to use search machines to check how other GMs feel about it, it is a topic that's pretty much never talked about. The topics I did find where mostly focused on "what song using vocals is good", but not if it works in the first place.
That's why I am reaching out here - I want to hear from you, either as GM using music vocals, or as a player who experienced a GM using such songs, what your experiences were with such - when did you feel it was brilliantly executed, and when did it not work at all?

My son is 6 months old and perfect. He’s so sweet and I already know he is kind. We had a difficult pregnancy with lots of sudden heavy bleeds, and after having a miscarriage a few months before getting pregnant with him I spent the whole pregnancy in fear of losing him.
Now he’s born I feel I spend too much time being terrified of him getting sick. I know I need to stay off the internet as that’s where you see stories but even when I did that my friend told us her son was diagnosed with cancer (he will be ok but it was a terrifying and very real time).
It’s not just my son too, it’s also my beloved dog. I love my dog to pieces and any other dog lover will relate, but he got me through my darkest times. When my pregnancy was at my toughest he was there. Now I am terrified of losing him and all I seem to hear is horror stories of how peoples dogs died suddenly.
I also have a weird fear of dying myself, I think about it and get upset that my son won’t know who I am when he grows up.
Is this PND? It doesn’t seem like it because I’m mostly happy and I am loving being a mother (apart from the obvious challenges at the start and that “oh shit, I’ll never have a lie in again” moment!). I’m also aware it looks different for everyone and I’m just wondering if I’m maybe just an extremely anxious person and it’s been severely heightened since his birth or if it maybe is a strange form of PND.
If anyone has experienced similar have you any tips on what helped or is this all just part of being a mother?

I just wanted to see if anyone could help me figure out how many credit hours must I take to be considered full time, to receive the usual full MHA. I just got a letter from the va today about my eligibility and it shows my scheduled payments. I’m taking 2 classes (6 credits) which I what I was told by my counselor would be considered full time. The classes start June 20- August 11th. For that period I’m only receiving $344.12, $938.50,$344.12. Any help would be appreciated thank you all.

My sister who is 14 was hanging out with one of her close friends and her friend is pretty boy crazy now and has an obsession with fitness girlies rn and was counting cals [red flag at 14 I was getting a bit nervous for her] she’s not a nice kid nor person though. She’s pretty much a middle school bully, but pushes a hardcore conservative Christian agenda which often will end up scaring or hurting other kids.
When she was counting my sister who was feeling insecure [cause she’s 14 and bigger then this girl] started talking about my Ed and how it started like that so she tries to stay away from that stuff and they got into a really serious talk about Ed’s and my sister was saying how bad my mental and physical health effected our whole family and her friend had the nerve to say “yah I wish I had an Ed too , not the bad one mental stuff just a little one so I can look skinny”
I was mad at first because 1. That was triggering 2. That’s incorrect and offensive And 3. Cause my sister just talked to her about such intense stuff and it was like she didn’t even listen at all ?
But I’m also nervous . She a pretty mean kid and her parents are pretty bad people but she’s still a kid yah know and that’s a disordered though on it’s own.

Hi guys I’ve set up a painting contracting company based in U.K. Going after commercial work and new build housing sites. I’ve got a friend who will come on board as business partner 50/50 but I’m having doubts about giving away 50% when I’ve put all the money in, set it all up etc and I’m in process of getting tender documents to secure first contract.
He will bring a lot of experience to the table and he’s good at supervising the men on site which can leave me to focus on growing the company and securing more contracts.
Was considering offering him 30% of company
What do you think am I being greedy or is that fair?
